I'd like to ask about the license under which libnodave is released. is it GPL or LGPL? We'd love to use this software in a number of our projects. The problem is, some customers will not allow thier solutions to be GPL.
Many thanks,
hs
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The license is LGPL, as you see in nodave.c and nodave.h. Some of th test programs still say GPL. I do not consider this a problem or a contradiction because normally if you write a real application for customers, such an application will have a main purpose other then demonstrating libnodave and nobody would consider it a "derived work".

Hi Thomas,
First of all, thanks for your effort.
I know the topic is old, but I am running into some legalese issues with the fact that some files are licensed as LGPL and some are GPL. I have created a patch to solve the problem with the files I use, see attachment. Would you be willing to release a new version that has the my patch in?

But for nodave.c and nodave.h you will need openS7online.c and openS7online.h which are under GPL. Hence the whole library is under GPL terms.
Thanks a lot.
